Party Piece was commissioned in 1986 by the Cambirdge Co-op Band for their long-serving principal euphonium (and later, conductor) Charles Shipp. It falls into two sections which are jointed by a short cadenza: the first is a tender Andante with a simple tune which is then decorated, and the second a breezy Allegro with a darker central episode.
Also available Euphonium with Piano Accompaniment edition.
